Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Chapter 58: Scum



Now Chu Chen's reputation has reached its peak at First High School.

The power structure of Celestial Star City can be divided into four tiers.

The first tier is the Alliance, which includes all official organizations, such as the Beastmaster Association, the City Defense Army, educational institutions, law enforcement agencies, etc.

The second tier is the Daoist Schools, which include the Qilin Daoist School, Cyan Dragon Daoist School, and the Five Great Daoist Schools, while smaller Daoist Schools like Thunder are not included.

The third tier is led by the Ji Family, along with three great families and some smaller families attached to these three great families.

The fourth tier consists of ordinary people, similar to Chu Chen, who have no connections or background.

And the prodigies of the new generation from the three great families are all interested in Chu Chen, some wanting to recruit him, some filled with hostility, and some harboring gratitude.

No matter the intention, they are all existences that the students present admire.

Even hostility is something they are willing to endure, after all, being able to attract hostility from the geniuses of the three great families is enough to demonstrate one's extraordinariness.

However, this farce did not last long.

"Everyone, please quiet down." Chen Haoxiang stepped up to the podium and said loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Seeing this, Chen Haoxiang nodded in satisfaction and said, "There are still twenty-nine spots left to join the Elite Class, but this sudden beast tide during the combat assessment has shown us many students' courageous sides, as well as many students' cowardly and even despicable sides. Therefore, the list of students entering the Elite Class will be changed. Before announcing the list, let us have a moment of silence for the students who sacrificed themselves in this combat assessment for three minutes."

As Chen Haoxiang's voice fell, everyone fell into silence, and a wave of sadness swept over the entire playground.

A moment later, Chen Haoxiang spoke again, "Next, Teacher Chen Qian will announce the list of students entering the Elite Class."

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Qian, also the head teacher of the Elite Class. Students whose names are called, please come up to the stage."

"Chu Chen, Wang Lu..."

Chen Qian quickly finished calling names.

However, the students on the playground instantly erupted.

"This is unfair, there must be an inside story, I don't accept this." A tall boy shouted loudly.

With the first person stepping out, a second and third followed.

In just a few breaths, it resonated with many, and the entire playground was filled with words of unfairness and accusations of a hidden agenda.

This situation occurred because some students ranked forty or fifty on the leaderboard received offers to the Elite Class, while students ranked within the top twenty-nine did not.

The most ridiculous was the shouting boy, Li Xiang, who was ranked ninth on the leaderboard but was not listed in the Elite Class.

Chen Haoxiang looked at the agitated students with an unchanged expression, as if everything was within his expectations.

He stepped forward and released the aura of a Soul Master level.

The terrifying aura instantly swept over the entire playground.

Under the pressure of the terrifying aura, those indignant students instantly fell silent.

Seeing this, Chen Haoxiang said coldly, "Have you had enough outbursts? I originally wanted to give you a little dignity and deal with you later, but it seems I might as well let everyone see what you did."

"Li Xiang, is it? Since you're the first to step out, let's show everyone the footage of your actions at the time." Chen Haoxiang said sternly.

Hearing this, Li Xiang's face turned pale immediately, and he was about to speak up to stop it.

But Chen Haoxiang was quicker, and a beam of light shot from the Communication Bracelet, displaying a clear image in front of everyone.

A six-member team was trapped by a group of Gale Wolves at the edge of a cliff.

The protagonist of the image was Li Xiang, who was so frightened that he nearly fell off the cliff by stepping into thin air, clutching a precarious rock in his hand as if the next moment he would plunge into the abyss.

Everything happened too suddenly, with other teammates commanding their Guardian Beast in battle, they couldn't react in time. Just as he was in despair, a girl reached out to help Li Xiang.

After being rescued, Li Xiang did not join the fight but quietly withdrew his Guardian Beast to guard him.

Originally, Li Xiang's side had the upper hand, pushing the wolves back step by step, but after his maneuver, the entire situation reversed, and soon the wolves cornered them into a dire situation.

If Li Xiang joined the fight now, he could still turn the tide, but he made a shocking move.

He raised his hands and pushed the girl who had just saved him into the wolves.

The girl was lucky; she hastily activated a Defense Shield, allowing her to save her life.

Li Xiang, however, took advantage of the wolves' siege on the girl to leap onto his Guardian Beast and flee.

His actions directly caused the entire team to be eliminated.

Seeing this, everyone cast scornful glances at Li Xiang, with some classmates nearby even moving away, afraid of any association with him.

"This guy is truly an ungrateful beast, we envied him for making it to the Elite Class, but now it seems our principal made a wise decision."

"Those classmates are truly pitiful to have formed a team with someone who would betray his teammates."

"Li Xiang always seemed kind to people, but it turns out it was all an act. When facing real danger, he's more ruthless than anyone else."

"I don't accept this, their qualifications are poor, they could never enter the Elite Class, and they were destined to be eliminated sooner or later. They should feel honored to pave the way for me. Besides, the Defense Shield keeps them from actually dying." Li Xiang shouted with a red face, trying to defend himself.

Chen Haoxiang's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.

"Even now, you haven't realized your mistake, so let's see what you did when you encountered the beast tide."

The scene shifted to a City Defense Army member leading Li Xiang towards the city wall, chased by five War General level Iron Armor Jackals.

The speed of the Iron Armor Jackals was extremely fast, and the distance between them was rapidly closing. The City Defense Army member, to buy time for their escape, tearfully abandoned his Peak of Servant Level Guardian Beast.

But soon the Iron Armor Jackals caught up again, and the City Defense Army member had no choice but to abandon his last Guardian Beast.

This was a Peak of War General Level Jungle Giant Lizard. Despite being in a one versus five situation, it still bought nearly two minutes for the two to escape.

They continued to flee on Li Xiang's Guardian Beast.

Li Xiang's Guardian Beast was an Eighth Rank Slave Level Hurricane Leopard, with a speed only slightly inferior to the Iron Armor Jackals by a fraction.

At this moment, the Iron Armor Jackals were a hundred feet away from Li Xiang's group, and rescuers were already on their way, only minutes away.

In this situation, Li Xiang made another shocking move. He lifted his foot and kicked the City Defense Army member in the chest, sending him off the back of the Hurricane Leopard while Li Xiang escaped again.

This resulted in the City Defense Army member being devoured by the pack of Iron Armor Jackals.

"This guy truly is scum; before it was a character issue, now it's criminal behavior."

"Thankfully the school discovered this early; otherwise, who knows how many people might have suffered because of him."
